Can these vBulletin problems be fixed?

Hi again Gurus. These are 2 problems which are bugging me:
1st: I can't seem to find out why I can't see "Comment" in the Admin Only section that is in all other normal posts.
* This is in normal posts for all memmbers.
* This is in Admin Only section.
2nd: This is popping up all the time when members are typing posts. I don't know why or how to fix it.

We use version 5.1.2 and unfortunately am unable to upgrade at this time as I am not the owner. The owner is hard to contact and this makes it difficult as you can probably appreciate. I guess we'll just have to put up with the bugs for now. Thank you for your efforts.

Have them update to the latest version (assuming they have the correct PHP and Mysql/Maria db versions to support), they will resolve so many headaches by doing so.

Thanks Craigles700. I will pass all of this on to those who pay the bills and await their reply. I wrote a program many years ago and it still sells to this day. I do all bug fixes and upgrades and DO NOT charge for it as I think it is my duty to have a good product that works as it is designed to do. I think software companies are the only protected species who can sell any garbage they slap together and if it does not do what they say it will do, it must be my fault. If they fix a problem, they have the audacity to charge for it. If it was Epson, Ford, GMH, Rolex or Tupperware, it would be replaced with something that works as it should. I'm going on I know, but why is it that software companies are the ONLY companies which are not forced to repair or replace their products if they are faulty? I've asked this on many occasions (even to Governments) and to this day I have not had a response that is even worth reading. Cheers and have a great day, Greg

More than likely someone somewhere is updating the server. You could still run (for the most part bug free) VB 3.x from 10+ years ago but only if on the same server you had when you bought it. In the software industry the servers keep upgrading, the operating systems, PHP versions, databases keep upgrading, it requires constant changes to the code to maintain. That can't be done for free and have a company be profitable.

We didn't seem to be getting listed in Google search so went back to VB, but we didn't get listed there either
so moved back to XF.
You don't realize how user friendly some programs are until you have a go at a different one.

Just on hate. There is no page count above the first post in a thread so you have to scroll all the way to the bottom to move to another page.
Simple things but annoying non-the-less.
